The scene of Friday morning's incident in Merriwa, where a car ploughed into a house and killed a sleeping baby.

The woman driving the Hilux lost control of the vehicle on Hester Avenue about 2.30am, crossing several lanes of traffic, mounting a kerb, crashing through a fence and then colliding with the rear wall of a house in Tug Cove.

The Quinns Rock woman was taken to hospital as a precaution after the crash and later charged.
